Community Development Block Grant Program funds help strengthen Maryland’s communities by expanding affordable housing opportunities, creating jobs, stabilizing neighborhoods and improving overall quality of life. Congress created the Community Development Block Grant Program under Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974. The primary objective is to develop viable communities, provide decent housing and a suitable living environment, and to expand economic opportunities, principally for persons of low and moderate income. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) oversees the Program. The Program is comprised of two parts. The Entitlement Program is directly administered by HUD and provides Federal funds to large metropolitan entitlement communities. The States and Small Cities Program provides Federal funds to the States and Puerto Rico (with the exception of Hawaii) who then distribute funds to non-entitlement counties, small cities and towns. Congress allocates funds to the program annually. The Entitlement Program receives approximately 70% of the allocation and the remaining 30% is distributed to the States and Small Cities Program. Maryland's Community Development Block Grant Program is administered by the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development. The State receives an allocation from the Department of Housing and Urban Development each July.

This dataset denotes the boundaries of CDBG Entitlement Communities and State Administered Non-Entitlement CDBG grantees. The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) is a federal block grant distributed (via formula) to states and local governments. Recipients use the grant funds to carry out housing, economic development, and public improvement efforts that serve low, and moderate-income communities. Such activities may fall within Asset Acquisition, Economic Development, Housing, Public Improvements, and Public Services. Entitlement communities are comprised of the principal cities of Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs); metropolitan cities with populations of at least 50,000; and qualified urban counties with a population of 200,000 or more (excluding the populations of entitlement cities). Non-entitlement communities receive CDBG funding from their respective states in accordance with requirements that state.

Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) eligible and ineligible census tracts. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development requires local municipalities that receive CDBG formula entitlement funds to use the 2011-2015 ACS LMISD data file to determine where CDBG funds may be used for activities that are available to all the residents in a particular area. A CD-eligible census tract refers to 2010 census tracts where the area is primarily residential and at least 51.0% of the residents are low- and moderate-income as per the LMISD data file. For New York City, a primarily residential area is defined as one where at least 50.0% of the total built floor area is residential as determined by PLUTO 18v2.1. Low- and moderate-income persons are defined as persons living in households with incomes below 80 percent of the area median household income (AMI). The New York Primary Metropolitan Statistical Area's AMI was $70,300 for a 4-person family at the release of the 2011-2015 American Community Survey.

Community Planning and Development (CPD) has developed profiles that display accomplishments for selected housing, economic development, public improvement, and public service activities. These profiles contain accomplishments reported, by program year, by CDBG entitlement communities and states and are part of HUD's continued effort to provide grantees and citizens with information on our programs. These profiles provide information on grantee accomplishments by the type of activity carried out. The accomplishments appearing in these profiles were reported by grantees in the Integrated Disbursement and Information System (IDIS). Profiles for grantees will vary, grantees have flexibility in determining the housing, economic and community development activities they carry out with CDBG funds.

Listing of open and closed CDBG contracts between NYS Homes & Community Renewal’s Office of Community Renewal and grant recipients. Details include contract number, project name, project type, activity, contract amount, grant recipient, county, municipality and contract status, for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program.

These are profiles that show how each entitlement community expended CDBG funds during its most recently completed program year. These profiles provide information on grantee expenditures by the type of activity carried out. Since CDBG funds may be used for a wide variety of housing, community and economic development activities, the use of those funds may be identified in these profiles by as many as 90 different categories (matrix codes) depending on how an entitlement community has chosen to use its funds to meet local needs. With these profiles, you can quickly and easily become more informed on how CDBG funds are being spent by any one of the entitlement grantees to which funds are awarded or at the national level.

These profiles significantly increase the amount of information that is available about the performance of CDBG grantees. It is important that our grantees, all our stakeholders, and citizens be able to access detailed information about the performance of each local CDBG program. This access helps ensure accountability and assists in assessing the progress of each grantee's program. These profiles also assist grantees in measuring their contributions toward meeting the housing and community developments needs of low- and moderate-income persons in their communities and in analyzing the effectiveness and efficiency of their program.
